Building and Improving Support for RTD Policy
and Public Spending
(FP6-2005-RTD-OMC-NET) |
|
|
The
BIS-RTD project has as a general goal to build a
methodological framework and a learning platform
for regional and national RTD policy makers and
stakeholders interested in obtaining support
arguments for their requests to bring public
research funding to the Barcelona target level.
The project consortium is mainly composed of
public bodies involved in the formulation of
research related policies at national or
regional level. Out of the ten project partners
there are eight Member States (Slovenia, Sweden,
Spain, UK, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary and
Belgium), one Associated Candidate Country
(Turkey) and one Western Balkan Country
(Serbia). In composing the Project Consortium,
efforts have been made to involve primarily
regions/countries with successful, yet varied
RTD funding policy. Attention has been paid also
to include in the Consortium regions/countries
with different levels of economic and RTD
performance, cultural and political outlook.
The
project consortium objectives can be summarised
as follows:
- identify and evaluate existing RTD
funding models, policies and instruments
in participating regions/countries including
their communication
- identify critical success factors
for RTD funding policies resulting in
enhanced research and innovation performance
- select and present good practice
cases assisting policy makers through
mutual learning and benchmarking
- formulate guidelines for successful
target-oriented RTD funding policies and
their implementation
- offer recommendations to RTD policy
makers on communication tools for
obtaining funding levels necessary for
‘competitiveness-minded’ research, leading
to new and improved products and services
The BIS-RTD project is composed of six Work
Packages (WP). The first WP is for project
management and will be active throughout the
entire 18 month duration of the project. WP2 has
as its main task the mapping and audit of RTD
public funding models and will last three
months. Once the mapping is complete, WP3 and
WP4 will work in parallel analyzing the critical
success factors leading to successful public RTD
funding policies and their communication. The
two WPs will both have duration of five months.
The results of WP3 and WP4 will be audited by
external experts in WP5. The audit will be
completed in four months, after which the
BIS-RTD project will be coming into its final
stage, the publishing of guidelines,
dissemination of all the varied reports and
follow-up to the project. This last WP will last
six months..
